re: Melvin Jones drops to a 3 star on rivals

[quote]The coaches recruit the 4 and 5 star players.[/quote]
No, our coaches recruit the kids they assess can help our team win championships. They have no regard [b]whatsoever[/b] for any recruiting service list. They could not care less what Rivals has to say about a recruit. They do not even wa...

Still on your knees, eh? Ok let's deconstruct today's prayer to the almighty recruiting services.

What excuses?[/quote]
Excuses for not going undefeated every year. They play in the weakest Division of the BCS conferences (none of their opponents are ranked) and a weak out-of-conference schedule. When you play 10-11 tune up gam...

[quote]USC signed like 6 or so 5 stars a few years ago. All that talent and 1 NC.[/quote]
The Championship Game of 2004 was vacated. USC has zero BCS Crystal Footballs in their trophy case. None. But your point is correct: the Trojans are by far the greatest underachievers in college footbal...

This.
The "fixes" are especially amusing. The sexual tangents are a tad gratuitous, but the rest is spot on. Trojans repeat lies interminably because the technique has a proven record of persuading the weak minded. It drives the...

While it isn't likely he signs with us, we will be 1 of 3 OV's for Montravious Adams during the season (along with Oregon and USC). Lawson and Gilmore may be all we sign this year by way of DT's. It will be interesting to see how Lawson plays his 1st full year as a DT; he could explode. ...
